The Socialist Equality Party in Australia unequivocally condemns the imperialist war of aggression being waged against Iran.
This attack on an oppressed nation by the US and Israel is wholeheartedly supported by the Australian Labor government of Anthony Albanese.
Not only was the Australian government one of the first and most vociferous adherents to this criminal and genocidal war, it is also directly implicated in it.
Contact the Socialist Equality Party. Join us in this fight.
The struggle must begin now.

Welcome Socialism AI!
The launch of Socialism AI marks a significant new stage in the fight for socialist consciousness, to clarify political perspective and to prepare workers and youth for the escalation of class struggle that will define the second half of the 2020s.

I campaigned at the NSW doctor's strike this week for a unified struggle of health workers against the bipartisan attacks on public health and working conditions carried out by Labor governments and facilitated by the trade union bureaucracies.

One of the two young Bankstown nurses, entrapped by a Zionist influencer, has been arrested and charged with offences, which, if convicted, could attract 20 years in jail.
They are being used to intimidate and terrorise any opposition to the genocide in Gaza and war in general. The nurse's remarks were reactionary and politically backward and don't assist in the fight against the slaughter in Gaza.
The lesson is that to fight Zionism and capitalism, there must be a political program - socialism. https://t.co/57L2HanXbm
"We are living in very serious times." Speaking in Sydney on December 14, I sought to explain the relationship between the objective crisis of world capitalism, the revolutionary potential of the global working class, and the critical historical role of the Trotskyist movement.
I have sent this letter to an outstanding historian of the Civil War era
Trump’s victory may be shocking, but it is hardly surprising. His election is the disastrous outcome of the long-term and very deliberate repudiation by the Democratic Party of any programmatic orientation to the working class, which Hillary Clinton infamously dismissed as “a basket of deplorables” and Biden recently referred to as “garbage.”
Focused on the flim-flam of identity politics — i.e., the politics of more or less affluent sections of the middle class seeking a more favorable distribution of the wealth among the top 10 percent — the Democratic Party convinced itself that it had found an alternative to the politics that prioritized class. This intellectual regression was promoted and justified in the academy by the various forms of anti- and pseudo-Marxist philosophies (Frankfurt School and Post-Modernism) that were embraced by a generation of ex-radical students in the aftermath of 1968.
In the United States, the new anti-Marxism blended with the longstanding tradition of anti-communism. Leftwing politics, of the sort connected to working class militancy, disappeared. The grievances related to identity displaced any serious concern with the massive concentration of wealth in a small segment of society at the expense of the working class.
The pseudo-left replaced calls for equality with demands for equity. This was closely connected to the relentless harping on racial and ethnic differences, and, with it, a contempt for the genuinely democratic traditions of the United States. This found noxious expression in the 1619 Project. All this has been accompanied by a general cultural degradation, the promotion of every form of backwardness.
To the extent that the Biden administration had an agenda, its number one item was the escalation of military conflict with Russia and China. Its endorsement of the Gaza genocide — among the greatest crimes in the history of the new century — has been entirely bound up with its militaristic global strategy.
The disastrous consequences of Trump’s victory can be averted only by “a new birth” of genuinely socialist politics, based on the working class and animated by an international strategy that unites global humanity.
On Sunday, November 3, the Socialist Equality Party held its final on-line event before Election Day. In my summary remarks, I explained the socialist perspective upon which the SEP will base the fight against fascism, war and capitalism in the aftermath of this crisis election.
On Sunday, November 3rd, the Socialist Equality Party will host a panel discussion, "The American Earthquake: Election Day 2024 & the Fight Ahead."
Yesterday I gave a lecture on the island of Büyükada, where Trotsky spent the first four years (1929-1933) of his exile from the Soviet Union. I thank Mayor Ali Ercan Akpolat for his hospitality and sincere respect for the legacy of Leon Trotsky.

Oppose genocide and war! Demonstrate in Washington on July 24! On the same day that Netanyahu is addressing Congress, thousands of opponents of the genocidal war will be demonstrating in Washington to express their outrage at Netanyahu’s presence at the Capitol.
SEP candidate in Holborn and St Pancras Tom Scripps gives his reaction to the release of Julian Assange.
"A major victory has been won, but the fight continues... We must seize on the victory to press the offensive against the warmongers, with Starmer’s Labour Party in the front ranks."
The World Socialist Web Site (@WSWS_Updates) sends its warmest greetings to #JuliánAssange upon his release from prison. For the last 14 years the Trotskyist movement has been unwavering in its international campaign for his freedom.

“Imprisoning left wing writers like Bogdan without legal representation will not stop Ukrainian parents from wondering why their children are being sent to die in a war which was provoked and is now being propped up by the West”

Musk is only the most grotesque of the billionaires who rule the US. The breakdown of democracy is the inevitable political consequence of massive social inequality. The SEP advocates the expropriation of the oligarchs and use of their wealth in the interests of society.
In front of the Ukrainian Embassy in Canberra, SEP (Australia) National Secretary Cheryl Crisp reads out a statement from Tom Peters, a leading member of the Socialist Equality Group - New Zealand, demanding the immediate release of Bogdan Syrotiuk.
